Condensation is a problem; temperature is so-so
This mini-fridge has several flaws.. First, the temperature is only so-so. I tend to like things ice cold, but this fridge—even at its highest setting—only gets down to high-40 degrees Fahrenheit. The ice box never gets cold enough to freeze ice. Second, it includes a drip tray for a reason: constant dripping from “ice box” section into that tray. I have to empty it every two weeks. Third, the wire bracket meant to hold items on the door constantly comes detached.Simply put? I wish I’d gotten something else.

, small refrigerator
Just the right size for an extra refrigerator in our office room/family room. Larger than I thought by the picture on Amazon, but fits nicely on top of the upright freezer. it even has a very small freezer area for an ice cube tray. has a removable shelf.

Works well but need to clean out often to prevent ice build up
Bought this to store breast milk and premade formula and it works well for that, although the internal temperature never seems to reach below 40 Fahrenheit for me, so I don’t store my milk in there for long but my baby hasn’t gotten sick. It does make a sound but it’s not very loud and serves as white noise for the baby. I took one star off because the freezer compartment at the top tends to have a build up of ice underneath that forms frozen droplets that occasionally unfreeze and create pools of water at the bottom of the fridge, so you have to clean it out every so often which is annoying

Gets really hot
Seems to work ok as a small fridge, but the outside gets so hot you can’t put your hand against it. Not sure if this is a defect or if that’s the way it normally works. I wouldn’t use it near any flammable material.

It works, but I think not new as advertised
The refrigerator looked like it was used and not new. It has a dent on the top and at the bottom were what looked like something spilled on it or leaked out. See images. The box that it was shipped in had a makeshift bottom to it so I’m thinking it had been opened. Also some burn marks as seen in one of the photos. Definitely not new.It works fine and goes a good job keeping things cool. I don’t use the freezer because the instructions say you can only keep items in it for no more than about 4 days. It’s too small for holding much anyway. The instructions for the drip pan that comes with it do not explain exactly where it is supposed to go because there is no way to slide it in underneath the freezer. The door is not well designed for cans and fall out easily. I’m assuming they are more for bottles.Overall it’s a nice refrigerator and doesn’t take up a lot of space. I wanted something small to put in my living room for sodas and beer for guests because my kitchen is a long haul from the living room.

Freezer is a problem
Its quiet, looks good and keeps beverages cold but freezer leaks water into the refrigerator section all the time and always has to be wiped up because it thaws out the ice cubes. I think the freezer is a waste of money, cubic inches and time cleaning it without ice freezing properly. I only put the ice cube tray in there so I don’t know how it would work with food.

It was delivered within 48 hours and she was happy with its performance
I bought this online per request of my wife when her big refrigerator died a week after I had traveled overseas for a two-month assignment. It was delivered within 48 hours and she was happy with its performance. That would merit a 5-star rating, but she had a couple of complaints about the storage spaces on the door and the retaining bars. I saw these after my return. First the bars: they are coated metal rods that are bent to form a railing with their ends inserted into holes of plastic brackets that fit on the sides of the door storage bins. The bars are thinner than the holes in the brackets, so, a slight tip of a jar or bottle in the bin pushes the ends out and they fall off! This is a poor design or implementation. I fixed this problem by adding some heat shrinkable tubing to the ends of each rod. Once the fit was tight, they stayed in place. Second problem is that if the contents of the door bins extend to the full depth of the bin, they will hit stuff in the fridge that may usually stick out into the bin areas, thus preventing complete door closure. So, one should be observant that the door shuts completely!In summary, the unit is quiet and good enough for keeping a small bunch of stuff cool and a handful of stuff frozen; and with a little modification, you can even safely keep a quart of milk in the door bin!

B&D compact refrigerator
Overall it’s been good. I have had it for 4 months.It needs defrosting Every Month or it will make a squeaky/cracky sound, when compressor kicks on. (i think it is the ice refreezing)I use it for my monthly medication and only open it to check temperature (38 by my own thermometer) and get my medicine. I do keep water bottles in it so that it is not an empty fridge.

Not “ultra quiet’ but it works well aside from that
It’s all in the title. Looking for a new fridge that is actually quiet. It’s okay when the compressor isn’t running, but way too loud when it is. I am very sensitive to noise, however. So it may not bother you.I also don’t like that the bars that hold condiments and such on the door side fall off ALL THE TIME. Very flimsy.

a little too noisy for a light sleeper, but good refrigeration
I haven’t had an issue with the refrigeration or the freezer. The little freezer section gets very cold so I had to be careful what I put on the top shelf so stuff like apples or salad didn’t get mushy from being next to the freezer. The little door bars fall out way too easily, so I just decided to glue them in place since I knew I’d never want to remove them. Noise-wise it makes a soft humming noise every now and then, but mine also make these loud knocking noises (that sound like someone tapping loudly on the fridge) that tends to be loud and can either be super repetitive or infrequently enough to ignore. I’m a light sleeper and have a noise machine to put me to bed, but I’ll sometimes wake up when the knocking noise from the fridge becomes repetitive and loud. It’s a little annoying. Overall good and has been trusty so far, but the noise can get on my nerves sometimes.

Great size but some drawbacks
The size is great for a bedroom. 2 annoying aspects are that the shelf height in the fridge isn’t adjustable, and that the door storage isn’t supportive enough and the bar to keep the items on the inside of the door keeps on coming off and the items fall down.

Not with out damage or scars!
I can not honestly say whether this product is energy efficient or not cause I have only had it a week. But I can say that it arrived and was slightly damaged. There was a chip of paint missing out of one side and on the inside on the door, it looked like some had either greasy hands or put something greasy on the shelf.The tray system is a bit awkward cause if you leave the solid white on in you have next to no room for anything larger than say a can of soda to fit on the bottom shelf. I just took the shelf out and it is doing what I wanted.

Fills a Need But Don’t Buy for the Freezer
Our kitchen reno left us without a kitchen for quite a while. We bought this little refrigerator so we could have cold drinks and milk for our coffee. It works well for that need. Although this little refrigerator has plenty of room for our simple needs, we would have preferred a model without a freezer. Interestingly, most without freezers were more expensive. The freezer is tiny, with enough room for the lilliputian ice tray provided (which doesn’t make enough ice for one drink) and little else. We didn’t make ice but have tried putting a couple Klondike bars or small ice cream sandwiches in an hour or two before we needed them. They were barely firm when we ate them and likely would be liquid if we left them overnight. Nonetheless, if your needs are limited this is well worth the money.

Great Investment
I have had this fridge since I started college (so like 3 years) and it still works great. One minor annoyance is the shelving tends to pop out and you have to make sure that the door shuts completely or you may end up with some explosive sodas! But it holds a good amount of drinks and is perfect for a college dorm. (My brother is responding for all the stickers.)

It’s ok, if you never use the front door
It keeps stuff coldIt’s quietThe one main issue is the front door. The wire is useless and stuff falls out. The only positive any designer could have possibly gotten from it, is that it’s as cheap as possible.

Extremely light weight … in a bad way
I have only had this for a few weeks and it works fine, BUT it is so lightweight that it slides all over the countertop. I replaced it after a much older, more hefty fridge broke down. I liked the heft of the old one.

nice little fridge
if you are looking for a mini (and i mean mini) fridge for drinks/snacks, this little guy gets really cold. on the 3rd setting (out of 7) it was already condensing ice 1/4″ thick. the only bad thing (in my opinion) is that it doesnt hold very much. other than that it is very quiet, i kept mine about 14″ from my bed and it never bothered me once

Good Size But Noisy
I bought this model because of the reviews, it’s a good size and it’s a trusted brand. But this thing is loud. No matter how you place it you can hear it from 15 feet away. I’m using it in a bedroom that I am living in as the one in the main house is used by the homeowners and at night I don’t like to make any noise getting a beverage or snack etc. It’s a large room and I placed it as far away from the bed as possible but the constant sound this thing makes is maddening to the point that at night I have to turn it almost all the way off – defeating the purpose of having it in the first place. If I had an outlet in the closet I would put it there but that’s not an option. I wouldn’t buy this model again.

Worth the price for the product !
The media could not be loaded.
As far as the refrigerator, I highly recommend when purchasing it, let the item alone out the box first, check the back and inside to make sure all is intact. Why? You may wonder, well letting it sit for about 24 hrs helps settle the noise if any, as you can tell it’s a humming sound that’s all, I have it will little to no food but snacks and drinks; the great feature is the manual tells you exactly what items and how much temp and time it lasts; READ THE MANUAL! It helps trust me worth the money for the office space. If any issue there’s a one year warranty and you can renew it before it expires without any additional hidden fee.

It Served a Purpose
The most annoying thing about this refrigerator (aside from the frequent need to defrost) is the wire restraint in the door. The wire came out at least 50% of the time when I opened the door. A bit of glue probably would have solved the problem. The second most annoying thing is the “freezer” space. Not only is it too small to be functional, the flap covering the opening to the space becomes unusable with even the slightest build up of ice. The good thing is that the refrigerator held just enough to make temporary living in a small space tolerable.

This fridge is so quiet I seriously almost thought it wasn’t working. If it weren’t for the ice in the little ice cube tray that it came with being frozen I definitely would have thought it was broken or something haha. Quiet, has a really good amount of room for snacks and drinks, keeps things cold. I’m happy with my purchase.

It’s fine. Noisy.
Really, it’s an inexpensive refrigerator, so expectations are not that high. Several comment noted damage on receipt, so I carefully inspected mine after I unboxed it. Sure enough, the top is all scratched up. No dents and no damage to the box, so I can only assume that it happened at the factory or somewhere else, and so maybe we’re all getting a bunch of scratch & dent returns? Which may explain the good price.It makes noise when running but is not noisy. Fine for the office, probably OK for a teenager in a dorm but maybe louder than an adult might want in a bedroom if it’s close to the bed.** UPDATE **A week of living with this thing in my office, and I swear it gets louder every day. It makes a loud CLICK every time it cycles on and off, and it makes a buzzing noise when the compressor is on. It cycles about every 8 minutes for a minute or two. Too bad I already tossed the shipping box, otherwise this would be on a truck back to Amazon. I may ask for an exchange.

Awesome… Low power use
Worked great out of the box. Simple and clear instructions. And it hardly draws any power. About 60 watts, but is off way more than on, so works out to be 30 watts or less averaged out. This is in a shed with no a/c. Impressive.

This B&D compact fridge was a life-saver!
I LOVE this compact fridge. I got Black & Decker because I was pleased with their products in the past. This time I was spot on to do so. It makes NO noice at all! I have to go put my hand in to see if its cool to know its on. LOL. Perfect size to hold my bottles of water, butter, and creme cheese, etc. It’s very attractive in stainless, and our guests admire it. We got this when our regular kitchen fridge was being repaired, to save some food. What a life saver! It won’t really make ice, but if we put ice already made in, it keeps it frozen. Also, the outside top and sides are cool, not hot, which I like. I highly recommend and would buy again in a heartbeat.

Great office fridge but not the best
Absolutely the quietest compact fridge I’ve ever owned. It is so quiet, I forget its even there. Design is sleek, looks & works great in my office.Amending my previous review. The biggest issue with the fridge is the inside lower bar tends to come loose if put too much bottles on the shelf as the insert is not long enough to hold it in place. Second annoying thing was I need to keep the temperature low enough to keep the freezer compartment from “melting” resulting in dripping water all over the items directly below it.

Works great in RV with minimal clearance and airflow
Bought this for our nucamp travel trailer (outdoor) kitchen. I was concerned it wouldnt work well since there is the no clearance around it for proper ventilation. Even on 3 95 degree days in a row the fridge contents stayed nice and cold. It is also extremely quiet. Very happy with this. There are sharp areas of metal braces underneath the fridge that i managed to cut myself on wrestling it into its final resting place.

Click of death – does not work! Amazon support refunded my money!
Seems I have bad luck with mini fridges.I originally bought a 2.7cf mini fridge from my local supercenter. Didn’t work so I drove back to supercenter without the original box and I returned it. Got my money back in less than 20 minutes including drive, not much hassle. I figured I shouldn’t buy a generic not-well-known brand again.So I went browsing here on Amazon and found Black and Decker. There is a brand I can trust! This model fridge is smaller, 1.7cf and more expensive. I figured I am paying a name-brand tax. Must be better made!So after a few days on Friday, I got my BD mini fridge. Excitingly, I unpack the unit. It is covered in this hard to remove protective plastic film. I removed the tape securing the door and shelves.The manual states to turn the thermostat to “7” for 10-15 minutes. Okay… waited 30 minutes. I heard some clicking every now and then. I check inside and there is no cooling. No audible hum or noise except for occasional click.I’ve read from others that got a defective mini fridge. Apparently, it will make a clicking sound and not cool. The large black compressor does get warm… but not much else going on.Tried a different outlet. Same result. Nothing is obstructing the compressor area from cooling. And others with working units have reported the fridge starts cooling almost immediately. I am getting nothing but a warm compressor and occasional clicking.I don’t feel safe keeping this plugged in!Black and Decker / Westinghouse support are only available weekends 10:30 to 6:30 eastern. So on this Friday night, no help from manufacturer.Tried Amazon return process. Amazon support called me to help troubleshoot the unit. Then Amazon rep tried calling manufacturer. No answer from manufacturer again. So Amazon rep is going to do a callback for Saturday. I already know nobody at Black and Decker / Westinghouse will be there to answer the call. So yeah…Amazon support is great – but had I bought this at the supercenter 5 minutes away from me, I could have had my money back quick – no hassle.This is a hassle! Now I’m stuck with a more expensive name brand nonfunctional mini fridge that I cannot simply return and get my money back.The only reason I ordered a mini fridge through Amazon was because I believed returns were super easy. No smooth Amazon returns with this item. Now I know better.No choice but to wait and see what happens. Not happy waiting!Update : I waited a day and I did not get a callback as promised. So I went back to the email from Amazon on the rep’s response. I selected “not resolved” and I got another option for Amazon to call my phone. Alright, so I spoke to another rep and explained. The new rep said he wasn’t sure why the first rep went through the manufacturer – since the fridge was sold by Amazon, the manufacturer does not get involved. The fridge is “nonreturnable” meaning it would be way too expensive to ship back – so they refunded my money. Great!I got my money back but the only negative is that now I have to dispose of this large object myself. I don’t think I could get this defective fridge professionally repaired without spending the same amount of money or more of original price.

Great little fridge
Super happy with this little fridge that I use in my dog room for their raw food. Tiny freezer, but I like the placement of it being the entire width of the fridge. The tray is great as it holds the water from defrosting meat. This fridge is also quieter than the one that it replaced. Super happy with this purchase!

ChatGPT is making me lazy
I used GPT to find me a small fridge for my bedroom that doesn’t waste energy and it recommend me this fridge. It was on-sale, so i bought it and it works great! Energy Guide states it uses around ~ $25 of energy per year. It doesn’t make noise, except for every 10-15 minutes where it starts to cool the fridge for around 1-4 minutes. Has enough space to fit 2 – 3 gallons of water.The only 2 negative is that a gallon of water doesn’t fit on the door and also the plastic that is suppose to hold whatever is behind it, it tends to fall off when opening the door.

Perfect size and very quiet but…
The freezer leaks onto the top shelf at every temp setting. The bars across the door fall out and are not big enough to hold bottles/cans in place. When you open the door the times in the door fall out. I am not happy with the fridge for those two reasons, drip and door.

I bought this for lower noise.
My apartment has a large refrigerator and it makes noise as loudly as its size. But I wanted much less noise even though I sacrificed the capacity. So, I bought this mini one.It is working fine as I wanted, but inside, it is smaller than I expected and the metal wire/bar thing which pushes the bottles in their place against the door often fall off.And I unboxed, one bold and a mysterious short plastic pipe thing fell off the box. At first, I thought I should return this one because they were broken off the one. So, I searched the fridge for the broken parts which match the fallen-out bolt and the thing, but I couldn’t. And I see the electric cord is not clean having red stain on it and more… And something like residue or a very short human hair was found inside the fridge. All of these seem to say that it is not a new one or uncleanly assembled.Anyway, overall, the fridge is not that badly looking so I tried and it seems to be working well functionally so far.

Keeps food moderately cool
This fridge is fine for keeping non-perishable foods (i.e. soft drinks) and I’ve kept milk fresh in it with no real problems, though it doesn’t last as long as it would a better fridge. But, you can absolutely forget about keeping anything frozen in the freezer compartment, and making I’ve cubes is 100% out of the question, even when it’s turned up to the maximum setting.

works for what I need it for
this fridge arrived in great condition. I needed something for my room for my Insulin and drinks. it works great for keeping everything cold. the only 2 cons in my opinion is the freezer part, I put 3 oreo icecream cones in and within 24 hours I ate one and it was all melted inside(I had the temp on 5). so I put temp to highest at 7 and tried again, another 24 hours later it was melted inside again. it claims in the manual to consume any frozen items in five days but it couldn’t even keep an icecream cone frozen for a day. the second con is the door bars, they dont lock in so I super glued them in but still if you put small items in the door they will still fall out. other than those 2 cons its perfect, works for what I need it for. I normally store 10 12oz diet Pepsi cans on the bottom along with 4 boxes of insulin and on top shelf I put 7 16oz water bottles. very convenient for the middle of the night.

It’s decent
I’ve been looking for some type of mini fridge for a while now for my sons nursery for breast milk because walking up and down the stairs in the middle of the night to store the breast milk in the kitchen fridge is exhausting.With that being said, it’s a great little mini fridge, however the freezer part up too thaws VERY fast. It’s really only big enough for like maybe 1 ice tray. I don’t ever use the freezer part, just the fridge.But when you open the fridge door if it’s open for more than a few seconds then the freezer part will start dripping so the bottom of the fridge is always wet and I always have to dry it.The most annoying part of this fridge for me is that the bars on the door of the fridge are not secure, and they are constantly falling off the door. I still need to find a way to secure them. Could be better but best I’ve found so far. Before this one I’ve tried those super small mini fridges that only hold like 4-6 bottles (desk size fridge) and they did NOT cook to proper temps, so I guess atleast this one cools properly.

Works great
Product does exactly what it supposed to. Keep things cold. The freezer compartment is insanely small like for an ice pack and ice cubes, but it’s a small fridge so that makes sense. The only reason I’m dining it a star is that on the bottom you have to be very careful not to cut yourself when you carry it’s insanely dangerous how sharp that is. I hurt myself but it could have been so much worse. Please hold it from the outside or use a think folder towel to carry.

The freezer does not work.
The freezer does not work. We bought this for our school, we need to keep ice packs frozen. Water drips all over. We have done the trouble shooting with same result. Called customer service. The frig is under warranty, B&D will send another frig out, but only after we cut the cord from the current one. The frig is keeping meds that need to be kept in frig. We cannot put the meds in the kitchen cooler as we do not mix food and meds. We are a school, we need a replacement but we cannot cut and send cord in as we need to have a frig. I have asked to talk to manager. Unable to transfer me. There has to be a resolution to this situation. We are willing to send the cord and serial tag once the new frig arrives. Also we have to pay postage and tracking to return.

Convenient if with an annoyance or two
Bought this for use in my office. Overall, it keeps cold the stuff I need to keep cold and is quiet about it. The two annoyances I experience with it are:1. The restraining bar on the door shelf always pops out if I open the door two quickly or close it a bit too hard. As a result, anything on the full width door shelf falls out so I have to replace the restraining bar and the items and then close/open the door very gently.2. The underside of the freezer ices up and then drips so I have the use the white tray to catch the water and be ready to wipe off anything that had been there. This despite my having the cold setting very high.

Quiet, functional mini fridge
I swapped the door hinge, so now it swings to the left. A couple of the screws were stripped, if I’d had a screw gun it would’ve been much faster. The top of the fridge came with a small dent, but I can’t see it under my work desk. My logo came missing a K, so I have my own original Blac + Decker. So far it’s quiet and has kept cold, but I’ve only been using it for a day so I will update if anything changes.

I rated this high because of Amazon features questions, but….
I received this item and rated it high based on the Amazon features questions, energy efficiency, noise level, and value for money. Those all seemed fine.Now the problems:1) At delivery the fridge was delivered on it’s side. There is clearly a label that says this item must be kept in the upright position. – THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN.2) Upon unboxing I noticed the box isn’t a box at all, It’s 3/4 of a box. The bottom isn’t a box and just part of the Styrofoam that was to protect the box. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX? And, this leads me to believe there was a delivery service that delivered it and not an Amazon driver, just my deduction.3) After unboxing there was a screw that I found, no idea what’s it’s for. I looked at the unit, I can’t find where the screw could go.4) Something that I would think would matter to people buying this unit…. the stabilizing feet not even, don’t sit parallel, and in my case I couldn’t use it bc the space was supposed to be just perfect, but bc of the funky feet it didn’t. My fridge went out, I borrowed my mom’s mini-fridge, this didn’t work for me so I will keep hers and give her this one and hope it works. I just don’t understand why the stabilizing feet aren’t mounted in the same position and also they aren’t able to lengthen or shorten in the same manner. Kind of seems funky to me.5) Other than these complaints I plugged it in, seemed to work and I will say the noise level seemed lower than the one my mom let me borrow (same size, just about 4-years older.)

secure the lower bar holding the food to the door with duct tape or something.
the bar on the lower side of the door likes to come off and let fall out whatever it was attempting to hold back.secure it, thank me later.

Well made
The refrigerator is well-made, works well and keeps everything cold. The only downside is the freezer water melts into the food below. It’s not a lot of water but enough you have to wipe off the food.

Sailboat with 30 Amp shore power
I got this for my sailboat beacause I don’t want to eat out because of the pandemic. I couldn’t be happier. The door was super easy to reverse. I was able to get 6 burger patties and the ice cube tray that came with the fridge in the freezer together. It’s super cold. I have it set at 5 (of 7). Any higher and the orange juice freezes a little. The main attraction is the energy usage. 30 amps isn’t that much in the power department (3600 watts max) and I’m able to charge my phone, run lights, heat and a coffee pot while the fridge is plugged in without any issues. It’s gonna stay on the boat. I should have bought something like this years ago. I’ve wasted so much leftover smoked salmon dip over the years. Well, no more.The prevailing logic for boats, vans and RVs has shifted toward residential fridges for a number of reasons: they get colder: they don’t have expensive parts: they don’t break down as often: and they are overall much cheaper. This little fridge will run great on battery power when I’m underway. I don’t anticipate any issues.It’s small enough that I’ll be able to build it into the salon on the boat — that will protect it better from the saltwater air. If I remember, I’ll post an update in a year.

Black + Decker can do no wrong!
Since I live in a townhouse and was getting tired of going downstairs every time I wanted a snack or something to drink, I decided to purchase a mini fridge for my bedroom. I spent a significant amount of time conducting searches and reading reviews here on Amazon; and just when I was on the verge of giving up, this model appeared in my recommendations. It’s 100 percent what I was looking for–it doesn’t make a lot of noise while running (low hum); and in addition to being the perfect size to fit on an end table, the spaciousness of the interior far exceeded my expectations. (The glass shelf is also a nice touch). The highest temp setting is 7; however, since I don’t like drinking liquids that are TOO cold, I have it set to 4, and the chill is perfect for my tastes. (Per the instructions, it’s best NOT to overload it, because doing so will affect the overall temperature.) I also specifically wanted a fridge that came with a freezer, and it’s just big enough for six Klondike bars. Since the rack for the bottom shelf of the door isn’t attached, it falls off REALLY easily; so in order to save yourself some aggravation, use a little Gorilla Glue to secure it in place.

Great little fridge if you’re lucky (like me) and it arrives OK
After reading customer reviews and answers to questions, I was a bit concerned that the unit might be damaged in transit or might not work since there is no option to return this Black and Decker BCRK!&W compact refrigerator. Yes, I took a chance and was dismayed to see the box arrive with a small hole in the cardboard box, but fortunately, the fridge was well packed and suffered no damage. … I took the fridge out of the box, set it on the counter and plugged it in. Worked! Instructions said to set it on 3, which I did, and later had to change it to 4. The adorable tiny ice tray (included) easily fits in the tiny freezer – at setting 3, only half of the ice tray turned into ice, then at setting 4, ice formed in whole ice tray. … I haven’t yet used the holders inside the door but have noticed that it doesn’t take much bumping into them that they will fall down. Sitting on the counter, the fridge slid around too easily so I placed 4 small pieces of slip resistant shelf liner underneath so now it sits where it sits. … I have had the refrigerator for only 2 weeks. I don’t expect it to last for years, but hopefully will get a year or more out of it. Not perfect, but bottom line, I do like this little fridge and it fits my purposes. I would give it the full 5 stars if not for the not being able to return it if something is wrong with it. I was lucky, so far.Edit: forgot to say, VERY QUIET. Silent when not running, then when running, makes a very small refrigerator noise.

What a disappointment! I would not recommend this. BAD
It leaks inside. From tiny freezer area I think. I had nothing in the freezer (not that you could fit anything in it, but that is not what I bought it for) No matter what I did with the temp setting; it continued to leak. Everything got dripped on and was wet. I had to put things in containers or cover with plastic. GROSS. I bought it to use while my reg fridge was being repaired and then awaiting a new fridge. I was desperate so I ordered this. I never got it delivered even though it said delivered; perhaps it was stolen from my locked apt lobby. At any rate, Amazon was amazing and sent another. I dragged it up my 6 flight walk up. It worked well for a week then everything was wet. I tried unplugging and waiting…I put it back on same wetness. It is relatively quiet but I DO NOT recommend. I could not get the drip to stop no matter how low or high I changed temp. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Door stays open
The door does not close well. Very often, I have to replace the food that is stored in the fridge because it has gotten too warm due to the door being slightly opened after I try to close the fridge.

108$ and it lasted 2 months right or of warranty reach now Im screwed for $
Ended up getting a Frigidaire after this failed on me 58 days in 28 days out of return ..I would consider updating this if seller does make things straight otherwise this thing is trash so your research longevity is not popular in that brand unfortunately unless ur lucky…anyways have a good one, even a partial refund or half refund would show there true values and how it treats normal people like us. even 25% or 50% partial or half refunds would be amendable…would show me how black and decker operates right now I’m not very optimistic and they might just continue on…1 good thing it was freaking amazing when it worked it had a top freeZer portion u could stick 8-10 popsicles and 2 side parts one for drinks one for sauces and stuff I loved it but it failed in a unexpected rate right after .y refund was up someone rigged it to run a little and then boom
